The Vanishing Cowboy
A. Ray began writing his autobiography in 1956
and it is a mere collection of memories important enough for him to share and he
named it "The Vanishing Cowboy". Documents reflecting the original pages
will be added soon to experience the essence of spending an afternoon with Ray. The following chapters
on this website were revised for easier reading and it is hoped you can still
hear his voice.
In his later years,
A. Ray's handwriting became harder to read but he was determined to leave this
world with an accomplishment to be handed down to future generations. He
spent the majority of his last four months focusing on this mission, handwriting
copies of basic ancestry for each of his children. This website is meant as an
extension of his efforts, using more modern technology to accomplish his goal
and reaching more of his relatives than he dreamed. Neither penmanship nor
spelling were A. Ray's strong points and any inconsistencies or information misinterpreted throughout this web site
are regretted.
